“The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right and until I make
thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord hathsworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
of Melchizedek” – (Ps.110:1,4).

“But this man, after he had offered one
sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; Fromhenceforth expecting till his enemies be
made his footstool” – (Heb.10:12,13).

This footstool is a picture of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, when
He returns to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords at the battle of
Armageddon and defeats the Beast and his armies – (Rev.19:11-21). He will rule
over this earth forever and it will be a righteous, just, and peaceful kingdom.
He will be both a king and a priest as Melchizedek typified.

At the time of His return from heaven in power and great glory, all His
enemies will be made His footstool. As emperor over the whole earth, His
enemies shall be subdued beneath His feet “Thou
hast put all things insubjection
under his feet…” – (Heb.2:8). “And
hath put all things under his feet…” – (Eph.1:22). All those who rejected
Christ during their lives and would not let Him reign over them will be killed – “But his citizens hated him, and sent a
message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us, bring
hither, and slaythem before me” –
(Lk.19:14,27). Many kings on earth had their throne’s footstool inscribed with
their enemies’ names.

It is written – “Thus saith the
Lord, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool” – (Is.66:1).
The Lord is the King of heaven and the earth that He created. Heaven is His
throne and earth is His footstool of His throne and His Son will rule over the
whole earth forever and ever – (Rev.11:15). Solomon’s throne was a type of
God’s throne – “And there were six steps
to the throne, with a footstool of gold…” – (2 Chr.9:18). When Christ shall
“sit upon the throne of his glory” –
(Mt.25:31), then we which have been saved by Him will have the great privilege
of climbing those steps to bow down before Him and kiss His ‘feet’ that were
pierced for our salvation. “…How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace…” – (Rom.10:15).
We have believed His words – “Order my
steps in thy Word…” – (Ps.119:133). “…because
Christ also suffered for us,leaving
us an example, that ye should follow his steps” – (I Pet.2:21). We have
followed His steps and we shall share in His glory and be kings and priests on
the earth. Christ’s throne at the top of six steps show Him as “thehigh
and lofty One” whom God has “highly
exalted.” World peace started with the ‘feet’ of Christ – peace with God.

Not only will Christ’s human enemies be made His footstool, but the
Devil and his fallen angels will be made His footstool also. “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right
hand of God; angels and authorities andpowers
being made subject unto him” – (I Pet.3:22). Lucifer and all the fallen
angels that rebelled against God and followed him and all the children of the
Devil that follow him will be cast into the lake of fire for eternity –
(Rev.20:10-15). “..when
he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign,
till hehath put all enemies under
his feet” – (I Cor.15:25).

On Mar.17, 1972 I knelt down over a footstool in my friend’s house and
repented of my sins and believed on Christ in my heart by faith and I was saved
and born again. No longer was I an enemy of Christ, but now a friend of Christ
and a new soldier in His army. And now I know, that
when I knelt over that footstool, I was humbling myself to the throne of the
King of heaven and His rule over my life. I was reconciled to God by His
beloved Son on the cross – “Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold
all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to
himself by JesusChrist…” – (2
Cor.5:17,18). As I repented over that footstool in
tears, I saw a vision of Christ dying on the cross and then it seemed that I
was on the cross with him – “I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live by faith of the Son of God, wholoved
me, and gave himself for me” – (Gal.2:20). His death gives us eternal life.

Born again describes what happens to you when you’re truly saved. Your
old man dies with Christ on the cross and you become a new man – (Rom.6,6:7). And (Eph.4:2:2). You have a new Holy Spirit and
become a holy man. Your mind and understanding is radically changed. You have a
new heart and your ‘feet’ walk in new holy paths. Are you born again? If not,
find a quiet place and repent of your sins and believe on Christ in your heart
by faith and you will receive forgiveness of sins and become a new creature in
Christ. Jesus said – “That which is born
of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel
not that I said untothee, Ye must be
born again” – (Jn.3:6,7). Be
a friend of Christ and not His enemy destined to be crushed beneath His feet.
Be saved and follow King Jesus and obey Him. Be saved by His beautiful preacher
‘feet’: the ‘shoeless feet’ of the Redeemer – (Ruth 4:7 and Lk.3:16). O do not spurn the love and grace of God in His beloved Son on
the cross or the wrath of God abideth on you.
